It’s obvious why they waited so long to released the photo.
Barack Obama shoots a gun like he throws a baseball.

An anonymous gun expert, who did not wish to be identified, had this to say about Obama’s shooting style.

“Either the recoil kicked his ass or he doesn’t know to lean into the shot when shooting. He shoots a gun like he throws a baseball. That’s a ported shot gun. (holes – venting – at the end of the barrel. Less recoil.) You port really high power firearms to reduce the kick when fired. It helps with control and is less punishing. The smoke coming out of the top of the barrel lessens the muzzle jump and recoil. It means he’s a panzy. And it still threw him back. It also means he never shoots a gun.”

Highly recommended missive from Rep. John Campbell…

The Sandy Hook Elementary school tragedy is one that will not, and should not, leave our collective memories for many years. My daily prayers include the families of these young victims. There is no disagreement that such violence is on the increase in our country. There is similarly no dispute that we must have a reasoned and serious debate about its causes and potential solutions.

With this writing, I will enter that debate.

With a few exceptions, the proposals to reduce such violence have been focused on increased gun control legislation. Some have also talked about increased mental health funding and reporting, while others have suggested armed guards in schools as a solution. I believe that these proposals all deal with the symptoms rather than the causes of such violence. Furthermore, I believe that most of these proposals are actually counterproductive in that they distract us from what perhaps are much more difficult and deep-seated issues that we are fearful of or simply unwilling to address.

My guess that Obama’s weapon of choice for mass murder is are abortion and drones. Throw in a little Fast and Furious and Benghazi gun running and there is no question this guy is a psychopath Statist.

You know, they attached that *WARNING: DO NOT PHOTOSHOP* ‘ToS’ to that photo in the hopes that everyone would do exactly that and photoshop that pic and pass it around.

That is the absolute best and most expeditious way to get that photo out to the world and into the heads of everyone with access to the interwebs – including the gun control fence sitters.

No matter how you photoshop it [unless you eliminate the obvious] – it still shows our America loathing Constitution shredding President Dingus wielding and firing a gun in a recreational setting which works directly to benefit their cause – and his ‘public image’.

Other than that – I can’t wait to see the maelstrom of photoshops that are sure to ensue.

This photo is so late coming out because it is a recent photo. Note the gray hair. It isn’t at the beginning of his term, as he was still dying his hair then, and it was very black, and usually longer. He did this photo op because he was taking heat over his lies about shooting.
